thing we know ha has spread ice and snow over our
roads, and cur whole traction condition is changed.
But automobiles are pretty well prepared these
days to moot any conditions. All we have to do is to
adjust ourselves to these changed circumstances.
For instance, many skillful drivers start their cars in high gear on very
slippery, icy streets. Ordinarily this would be a bad thing to do. But when
our tires have to start us going on slippery ice or
snow, starting in second or “high” is harmless and it
does help to avoid spinning wheels, side slipping and

very slowly.
—
This business of starting in slippery weather can
be quite a problem. But stopping is even more so.
However, most good drivers agree on one method
that they find quite satisfactory. First of all they
begin to slow their cars down at quite a distance
from where they want to stop. They press the brake
lightly at first and release it almost at once. Then
they press again and release quickly. By a scries
of brief, moderate brake actions, instead of one continuous pressure, they
gradually reduce speed and can usually stop without skidding.
Many of the best drivers always make it a point
not to disengage the clutch as soon as they apply
their brakes, but to wait until the car has almost
stopped. While this is their general practice, they
say it is especially Important on slippery roads, as
they claim it reduces the chances of skidding. But
if we use this method there is one thing we must look
out for. We have to remember that on a slippery sur
face it is very easy to stall our engine by using our
brakes when the clutch is still engaged.

Outside of starting and stopping, most winter skid
ding is at turns and curves. Many good drivers tell us
that they treat every slippery curve or turn as though
it were going to be a stop. In other words, they ap
proach curves using the very same system of short,
moderate brake actions. The result is that when they reach the curve they are
going so slowly that they can actually give the engine a little gas and put
some power in the wheels. With power turning the
wheels, we are not so likely to skid.
After all, the main thing to do about driving in
slippery weather is just what we do about walking in
slippery weather. We are all pretty careful about
that. The first thing most of us do when we go out on
a slippery morning is to put out one foot cautiously
and get the feel of the surface
to see how careful we have
to be. The best drivers we
know do practically the same
thing with their cars. The first
thing they do after they get
started, is to teet the surface.
They make sure that there are

has
saved Umatilla county farmers more
than $54,200 a year on interest
alone, according to figures from the
central office of the Farm Credit
Administration in Washington.
Over $2,291,000 of farm debts
with interest rates that averaged
6.7 per cent a year have been re
financed with long-term mortgage
loans carrying interest rates of 5
per cent a year or less.
The figures show that the local
National Farm Loan Association has
been a big factor in making these
long-term mortgages available at
low interest rates. The association
guarantees loans to the Federal land
bank.
From May 1933, when the Farm
Credit Administration was organ
ized, to the end of last year, 250
Umatilla county farmers obtained
$1,984,000 for the specific purpose
of refinancing old debts.
The Federal Land Bank made 176
first mortgage loans and the Land
Bank Commissioner 215 loans. Many
of the Commissioner’s loans were
made on second mortgage security
to farmers who also obtained first
mortgage loans. Most land bank
loans are endorsed by associations
and advanced from funds obtained
by selling farm loan bonds. The
commissioner lends from funds pro
vided by the Federal Government.
As in the past, the Federal land
banks are making loans only on
first mortgage security, lending up
to about one-half of the appraised
normal value of the farm property.
The Commissioner lends on second
as well as first mortgage security
in amounts up to 75 per cent of the
value. The largest amount of a
Commissioner loan to one farmer is
$7,500.
An act of Congress last summer
temporarily reduced interest rates on
all Federal land bank loans—old and
new. Where land bank loans are
made through National Farm Loan
Associations, the rate is only 31
per cent for all interest payable in
the year ending June 30, 1936, and
4 per cent a year in the two years
following. This temporary reduc
tion of interest rates on all Federal
land bank loans is paid for by the.

Washington.—Federal aviation ex
perts, struggling for months to develop
a model, low-priced plane for mass
production, have found the key to their
problem in automobile engines, it was
learned.
Extensive tests of two standard en
gines used on popular-priced cars have
proved successful and these motors will
be recommended for widespread adop
tion as plane engines. It was learned.
Another is being installed in a plane
and will arrive in Washington within
three weeks.
Already three model planes built for
the Commerce department in its search
for aircraft to retail below $1,000, have
been delivered here. One Is the Wa
terman tailless plane, another a Weick
ship, resembling the Waterman in that
it is a pusher type, but differing in that
it has a tail, and the third a Curtiss-
Wright coupe.
Two more, now being put through
final tests, will be delivered here soon.
A third, an autogiro whose rotor blades
can be folded back to convert the ship
into an auto, will be completed early
in February.
The two undergoing tests are a Ham
mond, pusher-type, low-winged mono-
plane, built at Ypsilanti, Mich., and an
open cockpit conventional monoplane,
powered by an auto engine and con
structed by the Arrowplane & Engine
corporation, Lincoln, Neb. A third, In
use at Marshall, Mo., contains an auto
engine which passed all tests before
installation in the plane.
